            Bug ID: 34032
           Summary: add a new --no-added-types option to abidiff
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dodji at seketeli dot org
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

abidiff should have --no-added-types that would make the tool avoir emitting a
change report for new types being added.

The tool would thus not set the ABIDIFF_ABI_CHANGE status bit for added types.

That option would be particularly useful in conjunction with the
--non-reachable-types option.

The goal of the option is to improve the signal to noise ratio of user
applications that are only interested in changed and removed types, like
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/check-uapi.sh.
